Fruit That Lasts, an Interview with Nena Jackson & Kristi Smith

Oh we were so overjoyed when we were introduced to the wonderful Nena Jackson and Kristi Smith. Nena and Kristi are the authors and beautiful creators behind Fruit That Lasts, a children’s book series with a mission of sharing the good news about Jesus Christ.

The books feature the adorable characters, Franny Fig and Pom Pom Pomegranate as they go on adventures and learn valuable lessons from their grandmothers.

Both Kristi and Nena share about their journey to becoming authors, their motherhood journey and their testimonies. My favorite part? They’ve been best friends since the first grade!!

I’m also loving their new direction on social media, how they are cultivating relationships and community on their Facebook page and beyond. Be sure to give them a like and a follow right here.

This episode is a must listen!

Purchase “Fruit that Lasts” individually or as a five-book package on Amazon or locally at the Seacoast Church Bookstore in Mount Pleasant. Learn more about the book series at www.fruitthatlasts.com.
